Hi.

I have two email accounts set up in Outlook 2003 on my laptop--one for the
office and one for home. Neither allows the other to send from its SMTP
server.

Up to Outlook 2000, it was possible to simply uncheck an account (Include
this account when sending/receiving), but since then, we don't seem to have
that option.

I've put the accounts in different groups, but this doesn't seem to be the
answer. Does anyone know of a simple way I can tell Outlook that when I'm at
home, send/receive from my home account but receive-only from the office
account, and vice-versa when I'm at the office?

The only thing I can see is to go in and change the settings (and default
account) in the groups each time I change places. That's inconvenient for
me, and confusing for the average user...

Thanks for any help.

Tim
 
You can create two groups, One for home and other for Office.

In Office Group, allow Receive Only and in Home Group, Allow send and
receive.

You can define groups in Tools-Send/Recieve-Send/Recieve Settings-Define
Send/Receive Groups

After above setup, you can click on small arrow of send/recieve icon on
toolbar and click on Office Group or Home Group, and you will get the
desired results.


Best Regards,
